Supply and Demand over exclusivity and/or collaborations. Its not the "same" as the ones on the shelves at stores. Some do go through higher quality control, and others are just purely exclusive/limited release. Purposefully choke the supply, increase demand.. Hermes does something similar with a handbag, and they get stupidly expensive in the after market. Same shit with pokemon cards now, and/or sports cards. McDonalds released pokemon cards, and people went nuts.. those packs of pokemon cards from the late 90's also go for a ton. (edit; just looked, base packs from late 90's is 400$+ for what was like 2$ pack)I'm out of the loop here. I just don't understand. Whatever. I see sneakers on shelves at stores at normal prices. All the major name brands. What am I missing?
actually was a scandal recently,
